Question: Hello,

I am having health issues as I am loosing weight without any intention. I have visited Doctor and they wanted me to do CT scan with and without contrast of abdomen and pelvis. I am already weak, tired, exhausted all time. So really scared of radiation as this has chances of causing cancer.

Brief Answer:
Pet ct scan

Detailed Answer:
Hi

As you are loosing weight i would advise you to do a pet ct scan to come to a definitive diagnosis for the cause of your weight loss.

Also some routine blood tests such as complete haemogram and stool and urine test must be done to find out any abnormality.


A radiation of 10 times in the body increases chance of cancer by 10 percent
